george biden is not the first u.s. president to tap into it -- joe biden is not the first u.s.sident to tap into the reserve. our white house correspondent explains why the move has not been welcomed by everyone. >> what the criticism has been is this might resolve the issue in the short-term and lead to lower gas prices but because the issue of supply and demand globally has not been resolved, this will drive the prices up. what you heard is the president not only saying this is a global problem but the fact he is also saying this will work out in the end. one point to know is with regard to the release of these reserves, the president is not just releasing it all overnight. there is going to be one person -- one portion done in the first three months and another in the coming months. this he believes is going to allow for this kind of staggered approach that will ensure as the supply catches up to the demand as a result of people turning the economy back on due to the covered pandemic that this will resolve those issues and the prices will stabilize at a lower rate. that is w

attorney yesterday that president biden would not assert executive privilege over any of these documents. that caused his lawyer to say he would not cooperate. his attorney georgeaker biden is the first president to make no effort whatsoever to protect presidential communications from being the subject of testimony. mr. meadows remains under the instruction of former president trump to respect long-standing principles of executive privilege. it now appears the courts will have to resolve the conflict. that's where this is heading. a three-judge panel of the federal appeals court here in washington, d.c. agreed to give a momentary stay or pause the production of documents from the national archives to the house committee. that is a momentary victory for former president trump, but the three-judge panel which are all democrats as you said, appointed, two of them by president biden, one by -- excuse me, two by president obama, one by president biden. they say that this decision should not be construed in any way to reflect their feelings on the merits of this case. now, the issue here, of course, the former president is trying to prevent these documents, 46 docume

belongs to the institution of the presidency, not to any particular person, barack obama or george bush or joe biden or donald trump. it happens to be true that in making the determination, the sitting president can take into account the claims and arguments of a prior president. that's just prudential. but the sitting president is the one who basically decides. and it's not to say that there is not some decent claim that could be made in some future claim by a former president. maybe president biden, if he is a former president will make some claim of privilege going forward and a future president will take account of that. that didn't happen here, and that's what decides the matter for the purposes of the this case. >> yeah, it's perfect. it belongs to the office and not the individual. again, she says privilege exists for the benefit of the republic, and it is not tied to any one individual. the president is now just an individual. he is not the former president. he is not the president of the united states. here is my question. because he is appealing this, the former president, what are the cha

. >> reporter: george, good morning. president bidenware of the hit he is taking with americans around the country as they see rising prices at the pump and hit the road for this holiday so i've been told by a senior administration official as you said that the president today is going to announce he is tapping into these oil reserves, the strategic oil reserves. 50 million barrels is what we're hearing he will release. the presidents in this country have only released this supply is handful of times. so the big question, when are americans going to feel this impact? experts say the news of this announcement alone is likely to be enough to prompt a short-term drop in oil prices but it's going to take about two weeks for americans to really see this as these prices trickle down to stations around the country. now, the president we've been talking about for so long has been taking a hit in the polls when it comes to his handling of the economy and the white house is saying, look, this is a top priority for him. george, as you mentioned, h

biden got elected and gdp. i'll put it up. most don't care. on these two bills, the 2008 recession, the george w. bush era recession was like a man session. this current downturn was like a woman session. women lost a lot of ability to work, a lot of access to lack of access to child care. having to have your kids stay home that largely wound up falling on women that had to stay home and work from home. this impacted women hard. can you get in your head why joe mansion or kyrsten sinema would want to basically crush the bill to get women back to work and only do the hard infrastructure bill? >> the behavior of those two senators is sort of beyond understanding but there is an important issue here, i think, joy, and that is i don't think the white house is selling this the right way. you can hear president biden again and again refer to his spending 3.5 trillion. no. he wants to invest less than $3 a day per american so that we will have a healthier country, a wealthier work force, women who want to work will be able to do so because they'll have child care available, they will be able to afford i

george. yes, yes, this is an excellent point because it is a logical fight that the biden administration in particular wants to wait. because a trump really was the 1st president who had brought up the issue of trying a me when you 1st of all had the whole cold war paradigm. china is great because china is on our side against the soviet union, even though china was then in the midst of this cultural revolution. but all great and good guys because i went outside and that went from quite a while because it was still. busy a grade below that, it was russian. you can see that manifested in the expansion of nato. and then i think, you know, right, a china is now a serious economic rival. i mean, you know, it will be the number one economy in the world. but trump made this into a non media logical company. i mean, he was taking on everybody who's of economic interest class for those of the united states. when buying is done, it's brought back to the cold war aspect to it, which is a logical rival, chinese somehow waging some sort of a flight project. the american idea that waging a flight of b r a, we're go

i mean, biden will deal with that. i want now to turn to george takei, actor. through, it was pretty remarkable that you made a very successful acting career in the 1960s. and by 1966, you'd met gene roddenberry, and he had invited you to take part in a new series. he was calling it star trek. he wanted you to be lieutenant sulu. it changed your life. but did you take it — and this is where it links the actor and the activist — did you take it because you felt in roddenberry�*s vision there was something idealistic, something progressive that combined your acting and your beliefs? his vision was the magnet. but also, i was a scrambling young actor for every opportunity to act, and i saw that this opportunity, being a member of the leadership team on board the starship enterprise, which he told me was a metaphorfor starship earth and the strength of this starship is in its diversity, coming together and working in concert as a team, each contributing his or her vantage point, background, experiential history, cultural background. but what you say is fascinating

the two polls i talked about where biden was abysmal among independents, you know, richard nixon's territory or george w. bush before after the financial crash territory had trump up a couple points over biden and some of the first polls that show a 2024 race but with 10% to 11% saying someone else. lieu at the cross tabs and almost all those people come from people who disapprove of joe biden. even now at a point people really don't like joe biden, the independents don't like joe biden, they're very leary about, although narrow, say they are trump supporters rather than republican party supporters first, this raises not a prospect of uniting voters in 2022 against trump -- i don't think that is going to happen -- it does raise the prospects that trump is on the ballot even in unpopular -- they may not want the democrats but they really don't want donald trump. . . the democrats have a difficult decision to make an biden has a difficult decision to make. to do the politically sensible thing would be to pivot to the center quickly. the problem with that is it is very difficult to see how to do that wit

the polls i talked about where biden was abysmal among independents, richard nixon territory or george w. bush after the great financial crash territory, had trump up by a couple of points over biden. some of the first polls that show a 2024 race show that, but with 10% to 11% saying someone else. look at the cross stats and almost all of those come from people who disapprove of joe biden. even now at a point when independence don't like joe biden, they are very leery about giving donald trump another four years in the white house. given that trump leads all republican polls by a wide margin, given that the most recent omnibus poll says more republicans say they are trump supporters first and republican party supporters first, this raises not a prospect of uniting boaters in 2022 against trump -- i don't think that's going to happen for democrats. it does raise the prospect, if trump is on the ballot, even an unpopular democratic party can recoup a lot of ground as people decide they may not want the democrats, but they really don't want donald trump. the democrats and president biden

democrats on the hill are signaling they could be looking, george, at a vote potentially as soon as tuesday, but the reality is president biden is here right now on this high stakes european summit without that bill signed. that is not what the white house wanted. >> cecilia vega, thanks very much. let's get more on this now from transportation secretary pete buttigieg. secretary buttigieg, thanks for joining us this morning. let's pick up where cecilia just left off. we know that speaker pelosi is hoping for a vote on tuesday. are you confident you have the votes? >> we're very optimistic. the president put forward this framework because he believes that it will pass the house and the senate, and can get to his desk, and as soon as it does, it's going to make such a difference in the lives of americans. you know, one of the reasons we have such a sense of urgency about this is that the american people are impatient to see the pro-family policies that are in that build back better plan, to make sure we make child care more affordable in this country, to expand 3 and 4-year-old access to preschool, to get millions of americans

george? >>> as we said president biden set to address the new variant from the white house today.the start of a con ken shall week so let's go to cecilia vega. what more do we know about what the president will say? >> reporter: you heard dr. fauci lay out a lot of it. so much is about boosters and encouraging americans to get the shots, all adults eligible. the president is going to convey this message, don't panic but this is a good time to get those booster shots. he really wants to convey despite the unknowns they have this under control at least at this point from what they know about it. that travel ban that took effect today, the president said it's buying the country time to prepare for this. he returned to the white house last night from his thanksgiving vacation and met here with the covid team including dr. fauci. that's when that team told the president this is going to take about two more weeks to get the full picture of the severity of it, the transmissibility of it but that's when fauci told him he believes the existing vaccines will likely provide some kind of prot

president biden will briefly turn over power to vice president kamala harris today, when the president is under anesthesia -- i cannot say that word -- while undergoing a colonoscopy. georgeollowed the same process twice during his presidency. the infrastructure bill that president biden signed into law could end up saving lives. there are calls to regulation involving other safety technology, like automatic emergency breaking. my husband and i spent a very long time getting you to try and say that word, anesthesia, and i literally can't do it. >> anesthesia. alix: i can't do it. guy: it's not the easiest word to say. alix: thank you. guy: that was not nice of me. that was me being british. [laughter] alix: so much mocking, but well-deserved. i really hate that word, so fair enough. guy: if you take the mickey on my shoes, you are going to get something back. joining us now is someone who helped develop i.t. solutions for safety on roads, richard barlow, we go ceo and founder. the company collects data from 11.9 million vehicles to get insights on what is happening with road traffic conditions, the black box, the health of cars. i haven't picked up a map in a very long ti

presidentjoe biden was among those attending, along with former presidents barack obama and george wral and a former national security adviser. he died at the age of 84 due to complications from covid—i9. the row over racism at yorkshire — one of english cricket's most famous clubs has intensified with the resignation of its chairman. the worst crisis in the club's history has been sparked by a year long investigation that found former player azeem rafiq had been the victim of racial harrassment and bullying. but no disciplinary action was taken. former england captain michael vaughan was one of those named in the investigation — accused of making a racist comment to a group of asian players — something he strongly denies. the bbc says he won't present a "5 live" radio cricket programme next week. here's our sports editor dan roan. the racism that cricketer azeem rafiq suffered at yorkshire has plunged the county into an unprecedented crisis. today, as the fallout continued, the chairman bowed to intense pressure and in his first interview after announcing his resignation, roger hutt

george bush's 4th term. he was on to something there. and in many ways, biden is doubling down on trump's foreign policy, especially visa v china, but also visit the russia and, and iran as well. so what we've gotten out with we saw with the bush administration and they brought in all the people from the project for a new american century. and how they were the neocons and they were the hawks. and they brought us afghanistan that brought us iraq and, and libya and then our, when we give biden's obama some credit for olivia to answer and syria. now what you see with the biden administration is they brought in 16 top people from the center for new american security. and these are the hawks who are doubling down on so many of trump's policies at this point. and so instead of peeling back what you know, there was the june summit in geneva between potent and biden. and then there was some easing of tensions after that. the problem in the united states is that you've got a bipartisan right wing pressure on biden, to be hawkish toward china, to be hawkish toward russi
